I met him during sessions for the album. He truly is an authentic and generous human.7:47 PM - 21 Aug 2018

He’s first to arrive. Last to leave. Loves music. Loves singing. He’s a genuine person and has treated us all like we’ve been playing together for years.

Send all the love and support. I know the fan club stuff is REALLY supportive and encouraging.]

- Thanks and Kudos to Lora, Cyndy and Tim.

Good. I need 2 more copies. Everytime my bro or nephew stop by,I end up, short a few cds. Over the years, I've never seen so many cds grow legs and walk out the front door.

hope those numbers keep creeping down. its tough for some markets like the twin cities where we have no stations that play new rock songs (unless its hipster music). Sad that KQRS the station he did a 1 hour interview with wont play it. I remember back in the day at night you could get a Mankato and Message of Love was in good rotation. Nothing here.

Its is cool despite this, on Vevo it has almost 1.75 million views in a week.

The classic rock singer has broken his long music silence with a new single and upcoming album announcementAna Yglesias GRAMMYs Aug 15, 2018

It's been almost 25 years since Steve Perry, the former lead singer of GRAMMY nominated group Journey, released new music. But today the singer has made his return with a heartfelt song called "No Erasin'" off his upcoming album, Traces.

Perry released a touching statement to his fans, who have been waiting years to see his return.

“I would not come back to it now unless I could be absolutely emotionally honest about the music," Perry said in the statement. "I’m not trying to top what I’ve done in the past, or better anyone or anything…All I’m trying to do now is make music that really matters to me and I hope maybe will really matter to other people too.”

"I know it's been a long time comin' since I saw your face./It's been so long since we're together," he sings in the single – fitting words for Perry to open with. The new song and video feel like a love song not just to a long lost lover, but also to his fans. In the video, Perry sings passionately into the microphone and confidently taking center stage again; this time with a renewed energy and a new story to tell.

As part of Journey, Perry was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017, where he gave a speech but did not perform with his bandmates. Other than a live performance with the Eels in 2014, he has largely remained out of the music world and the public eye since his time with Journey.

Traces will feature more new music from Perry and will be released on Oct. 5. More information, including to pre-order the album, is available on his website.

No Erasin is one of those classic Perry solo tunes that grows on you in a major way. I can’t stop singing it, humming it or letting it loop around in my head half the day. Just when I finally have it out of my head, I go to YouTube the next day and listen to it all over again. It’s a catchy tune! The dude has a way of elevating anything he sings.

Wait till you start listening to No More Cryin... that chorus is an earworm..

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

I wonder if the rocker Sun Shines Grey will get released before the album drops. Andrews review saying it had a Cant Tame the Lion vibe from TBF. Even I think thats more of a Schon song cant wait to hear him Rock.

It doesn't look like it will. I believe "We're Still Here" is the final single that will be released on September 21st.

So, has anybody actually heard either of these songs on the radio yet? I listen to an adult contemporary station at work - one in which they did have a little promo on Perry's new album one day as I was heading home (had to stay at work long enough to listen to the promo.) However, I haven't actually heard them play the song. I've heard Oh Sherrie, and Steve Perry led Journey songs, but nothing new.

I realize radio is so yesteryear, but the fact does remain that radio still exists and people do still listen to the radio.

Heard No Erasin' a couple times on the Current in MPLS, but dont listen to that station almost never. They play new music but way too Indie for me. WE have no terrestrial radio stations in the the Twin Cities that play adult contemporary anymore, been 15 + years. Remember when they did play When your in love by PErry in 1988 a number of times.

For some reason we do have about 1/2 dozen bro country stations. I guess Perry needs to pull a Hootie, JBJ, or Tyler and go bro.

I have never heard When You're In Love on the radio. The stations where I live, they usually played the very, very top singles from albums - and that's still pretty much true today. You'll hear Oh Sherrie and Foolish Heart, but I don't ever remember hearing Strung Out on the radio or any other cuts from Street Talk. Same with FTLOSM. I heard You Better Wait quite a bit, but never heard Missing You or anything else on the radio from that album. Never heard anything from the Against The Wall sessions.

When Journey's Trial By Fire came out, I did hear When You Love A Woman a few times, and heard If He Should Break Your Heart on a "make it or break it" things our local radio station used to do in the evenings. A bunch of people with poor hearing called in and said, "Break it" so they never played it again. I was so disappointed, it was a very good song from that album.

I heard it the day it was released on a locally owned terrestrial radio station here in Michigan. The DJ sounded pretty excited about hearing Steve Perry and genuinely sounded like a fan. After that, never heard it again. I hear other radio stations bring up how he has a new album coming out in October, but they never play the full single. Its really sad.

The only singles I ever hear from SP are "Foolish Heart" and "Oh Sherrie". Never hear "You Better Wait" or "Strung Out". Radio is simply dead.
